Julianna Reidell is a junior majoring in English (Creative Writing Concentration) and French/Francophone Studies. She primarily writes poetry, satire, and short fiction, though she has yet to relinquish her childhood dream of publishing a novel. She loves working with the behind-the-scenes details of a literary magazine and engaging with the amazing work of fellow Arcadia students through Quiddity. In her spare time, she can be found with reading material ranging from Shakespearean tragedies to middle-grade dragon fantasy, as well as making highly specific parodies of said reading material. 

Ryland McGinniss is a junior History and English major with a minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies. He loves to do advocacy work whenever he can, and honestly you'll probably see some of that reflected in his writing. When he's not busy with writing, he listens to music and one of his most prized possessions is his concert t-shirt collection.

Sydney Howse is a senior English major with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in History. She loves the fantasy genre (especially anything with dragons in it), but can also be found writing and reading some other stuff. She also enjoys art such as drawing, painting, crocheting and felt animal making (please ask). She grew up in Houston, Texas, but does not consider herself a Texan by any means. Back in Texas, she has two dogs and a turtle and is always willing to show pictures to anyone who asks. 

Carly Maloney is a senior English major with a minor in Business Administration and is a reader for Quiddity.  As someone who is very interested in editing and plans to make it her career, she is excited for the opportunity to read others’ writing, both creative and technical.  In her free time she enjoys drawing, listening to music, and (very occasionally) playing guitar.   

Jewel is a senior Media and Communications student with a concentration in Multimedia Publishing and a minor in Creative Writing. Despite being a comm major, she is passionate about exploring all things writing and photography, and tries to incorporate both in her study. Jewel currently manages the Quiddity social media and also serves as the Print Edition Director for the Philly lifestyle magazine Loco Mag. She was eager to join Quiddity and see all the talent that Arcadia’s writing community has to offer. In her free time, she enjoys taking walks (preferably ones where she can look at trees), going on adventures with her friends, and spending time with her dog. 

Rose Bray is a sophomore English major with a focus on Secondary Education. She grew up in northern Maryland and spends her time writing short stories and the occasional poem. However, she prefers to write pieces for tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder. She enjoys fantasy settings as well as building upon game design. When she is not writing she will be playing video games or trying her hand at cooking a new recipe.
